wow.
It really is amazing how much of a language we can learn in one semester -in 6 chapters. This class was definitely a tough one, but it kept us engaged and interested - I don't know anybody in the class who is not taking it because they lost that interest for Japanese. Satoo sensee really knows how to do it. Even if shes chotto kowai sometimes. :)
AND i would just like to say, that the 2:00 PM Japanese class was the best. No matter what anyone else says.
See you at the tesuto.
Jaa, doyoobi ni

final thoughts
sorry, my computer was messed up and i could not post correctly for a long time - it should have posted by now that i am actually at a library, i see that nothing has been here !!
Speech?
But okay - so the speeches are done! I cannot post my speech at this very second, because... well, my computer is barely alive and that's where it is on. But I will without a doubt post it, because I'm pretty proud of it. I think I wrote a pretty decent speech, and gave a pretty decent presentation that got some laughs. I love when the class laughs - it not only means that my presentation is engaging, but that it actually MAKES SENSE. I feel like also it means that we really did learn to understand spoken Japanese, even if it's not from a person with 'natural speed,' it's progress
Late (but up!) Peer Revisions Critique:
Though it was extremely difficult to coordinate who does what feedback when... (yeah, we go to UVA and couldn't even do that) it was nice to read other people's drafts and get a sense of what they're doing. Our peer revisions definitely were helpful in getting ideas for our own papers (sorry if we're not as innovative!) and finding what things we could do to improve. It was also nice to be on the editing side of things for once, instead of having all the red marks - we make the red marks. Finally, I think it was nice to have other classmates tell us what we did correctly. After all of these 'ways to improve' we finally heard a 'something you've already improved'
